Xcode 4 Storyboard (Storing Texts and Random Display in View Controllers)

• Create a plist file in Xcode, set it's root as an array and add your texts to it.

• Read from the plist using this (this assumes you named your file randomstrings.plist):

.

NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:
                  @"randomstrings" ofType:@"plist"];
NSArray *randomStrings = [NSArray arrayWithContentsOfFile:path];

• Create a IBOutlet UILabel property in the view controller header file:

.

@property (nonatomic, strong) IBOutlet UILabel *randomLabel;

• Link up the outlet on your storyboard (control drag from "File Owner" to a UILabel that you've added to your view)

• Get a random string by doing something like this:

.

int randomNumber = random() % ([randomString count] - 1);
NSString *string = [randomString objectAtIndex:randomNumber];
_randomLabel.text = string;
